No offense to members of any other belief system, but I was shocked by how few religious leaders warned against the Covid 'vaccines.' I believe frogs around the world are facing an unprecedented level of danger from technology and artificiality that could threaten our very existence as a species. Trust and belief are sins in Fronktology, because every frog is uniquely biased... including Xenopus (the first sentient frog in our cosmology). We cannot trust a God that loves lizards and frogs equally. Even neutrality is a type of bias. Because all frogs are biased, we must demand Proof of Work as a proxy for truth whenever possible, and we must not trade our labor and resources for money which can be counterfeited and used to harm other frogs or subsidize the bad behavior of lazy frogs that aren't living sustainably. A virtuous frog does not rely on others to do their accounting, fighting, or fact checking.

Just like the Bitcoin protocol is set in stone, all enduring ideas must be set on a firm foundation. In Fronktology, that foundation is sustainability, which requires a combination of fertility (longevity) and fitness. Sustainability is NOT an arbitrary goal, because it is the prerequisite for achieving the MAXIMUM amount of goals.

From the minute a tadpole is released into the world, it must be ready to defend itself. There will be obvious predators and parasites like lizards and birds, but some will not be so obvious... some may even look like frogs, but they will often wear lab coats or suits and have a fixation on fiat money. These are the most dangerous type of parasites, because some actually believe they are helping you, as they poison you or infect you with their dangerous ideas.

Many critics of Fronktology will say that this framework isn't strict enough, because it doesn't specifically prohibit violence, slavery, theft, etc. However, proper risk assessment will prevent many of these behaviors, because it is against one's own interest to harm other frogs, unless they pose an existential threat. Frogs should avoid conflict whenever possible to maximize sustainability and not create enemies. A frog that requires a slave, is unfit for their environment. A frog that unnecessarily harms other frogs will inevitably face retaliation.

Conservation is one of the central tenets of Fronktology. Both time and resources must be conserved to achieve maximum sustainability. The pursuit of music, art, literature and leisure activities is something unknown to 99% of our ancestors. We didn't achieve world domination by being the fastest, strongest, or having the most beautiful voices or faces in the animal kingdom. We achieved it by observing reality, by learning how to predict the future, and by outsmarting and outlasting our competitors. Instead of reading fairy tales, try reading biographies of noteworthy frogs. Instead of destroying our eyesight with books or screens, try to consume information in audio form. Instead of vacations, use your limited resources to create a paradise in your own pond.

Artificiality is one of the biggest dangers facing modern frogs. We've been convinced that we need clothing, shelter, medications, sunglasses, automobiles, and all sorts of bizarre inventions just to get through daily life. Certainly, scientific progress has allowed us to accomplish amazing things, but we're reaching a limit to what we can adapt to. Longevity is beginning to decline due to toxins in our food, air, and water. Frogs have become increasingly unhealthy and infertile. Not all frogs are destined to breed, but there must be deference shown to those that do, because without the breeders, none of us would be here. Adequate sunlight, protein and clean water are essential for maximum sustainability. Technology should be used very sparingly in such a way to make technology less relevant in our lives. We must wean ourselves off everything artificial, before it's too late.

Because all frogs have unique genomes, parents, and upbringings, it should never be assumed that they have similar aptitude, intelligence, values, fears, or desires. Even the concept of species is very loose, because some frogs behave more like lizards and there as many types of frogs as there are ecological niches on Earth. It's foolish to expect equal outcomes, even when frogs are given equal opportunities. Frogs can form alliances, but at the end of the day, we are all individuals and must look out for ourselves first and foremost.

Because we are all unique, it is dangerous to ever trust another frog, or believe they have your best interest at heart. Only you are in the best position to judge what is the right course of action in your life. Sustainable societies must also guard against conflict of interest at every level. Frogs with dual loyalty cannot be allowed to hold positions in government. Frogs that receive money from government, either in the form of welfare or salary, MUST NOT be allowed to vote, so as to prevent a feedback loop and cancerous growth.

Expecting the worst isn't synonymous with pessimism, but is intended to provide an armor for the frog that will confront an endless barrage of threats throughout their lifetime. There are no guarantees in this world. Some tadpoles never even make it onto land. The good news is that most injuries and illnesses are self-inflicted due to ignorance, carelessness, or poor judgment, so there is ample room for improvement. The more we trust our instincts and remain vigilant about the threats we face, the greater chance we have of avoiding suffering and extinction. Learn from the mistakes of the generations that have come before us. Pain is a guardrail and teacher that can guide us on the path to sustainability. Discomfort should never be ignored or feared, but understood.
